Yesterday we started a new read aloud and it is sort of good but mostly I don’t think I will like it because the title has ghost in it. It is really scary and I totally will wish we aren’t reading this book soon. It was creepy.

Math was horrible and took forever. I got sent to my room until I could calm down. I was crying. Just let me get it wrong for once. I wish I could go back and not make all the typos ect, and not be so upset by the ones that I can’t get and then it is an obvious thing that I just forgot.

In English I am learning about character sketches. It is supposed to really develop your characters. It will really add depth to my writing if I can get the hang of it. But that’s only if I can get the hang of it. And if I practice it a lot. Well, this probably isn’t helping my writing. There are two many short sentences. I must stop having short sentences. Maybe if I use more commas? Or if I look through and see which things I really need to say. Ok, I am going to stop using as short sentences. If I can help it.

Yesterday we started drawing and I am better than I thought at drawing recognizable things! Today we went on a field trip to the library. It was fun, I like going to the library on Tuesdays! Reed and Adi don’t think I am writing my journal fast enough, so they are threatening to write it for me and post it on the blog saying that I will do all sorts of things for them. Siblings, you just gotta love em.’

We made hurricane in a bottle today. It was really really cool! It is ironic that we are doing it right now, I am not on good terms with Harvey! BE PRAYING FOR TEXAS, AND HUSTON A TON!!! We are going to try and get a science fair going with other homeschoolers, it is going to be so much fun!!!

In history we read about people who pretended to be loyal to other people when they were really loyal to the other side! I think to many more of the bad peoples stories get told in history than the good.

I had my first quiz in math today, it went fine. I think I got a B at the least. Math isn’t really hard yet.

We went to the library today. It was a lot of fun and I got over 20 books! Don’t worry, I returned all the ones I had already.

In Bible we learned that the word Gospel means good tidings, so the story of Jesus is called good news, literaly. The reason there are five versions of the same story is because they are written to different people, Greeks, Romans, Ect… The reason there are 500 years without a book in the Bible is not because God didn’t do anything, it is because God didn’t do anything through a prophet that He also inspired to write a book. Did you ever notice the Bible is the only book in the world that can actually make you wise? How in the world did the Pharisies not notice they were fulfilling prophies?

Yay, second day!!! We read one of Shakespeare’s poems, it was a bit weird. I interveiwed myself for English, it was fun and sort of cool.

It is amazing how much the Bible has went through, people have tried to destroy it and it has prevailed, and it has also been quoted, made into songs, read, and translated into more languages than any other book. It would have died out by now if it wasn’t God’s Word. Even non-christians know The Lord’s Prayer, and admit that it is powerful. If you took any mention of the Bible and disputes about the Bible ect ect out of history you would take out half of the great leaders of this world and half of history itself. Isn’t it amazing how the Bible was written by different people, in different countries, in different languages and yet it still portrays the same concept? That shows that the Bible was actually written by God. Isn’t it also cool that the Bible is a book for anybody, with any job, at any age, in any country, and at any stage of life? The Bible is the only book like that.

In history we learned about the start of the “Holy Roman Empire” the first king was a christian!!! So it spread christianity!!!!! (Years later) Charles got 3 kingdoms when he was still a teenager! He was a greedy, liar and he gave half his kingdom to his son, and half to his brother, which is probably going to lead to a power struggle.

If God sent me a message like He did the seven churches what do I think He would say? Wow, that’s a huge question which, like many others I do not have the privilege of knowing the answer too. But, I can at least make a guess. So… I think He would likely start with… Do not be afraid, you need not be afraid of the darkness for you are the light, be strong and courageous, for you are My ewe and I am your shepherd, follow My voice and you will be safe, you have good intentions, but the flesh is weak. Take courage, drop your earthly possessions and follow the ways of light.

Today is free meal at chick-ful-a if you wear a cow costume day!!! So I wore black leggings, black shoes, a white shirt, a walmart bag with spots on it, and a cardboard EAT MOR CHIKIN sign and, Ta-Da.. I was all set for lunch.

We learned about scientists worries about overpopulation in science. But I personally think that if God din’t make death v.s. birth rates match up, He’s got a plan for that.

In history we learned that the queen of England gave English pirates permission to attach Spanish ships!!! How does that even work? Aren’t Kings and Queens supposed to be against them? And how did she even let them know? I don’t get how that worked, isn’t that against the law or something?

This week was a very eventfuI week!!! got my sling off on Thursday, yay yay yay. On Friday Bella and I had a sleepover and on Saturday the pool opened and we had a bake sale but it didn’t go too well but it was ok after my grandparents doubled it. I also got some school done this week. I only have two lessons left in math!! I am almost done with Wordly Wise and I have a ton of Critical Thinking left. I can’t wait till 7th grade, but I’m sure I can last until after summer.

We learned a bit about Shakespeare in history. We heard a summery of one of his plays, it was horrible. We didn’t learn anything about the suspicions that Shakespeare didn’t actually write his own plays.

I think if Paul gave me some advise it would be to stand strong in the Lord, not be afraid, and to remember God is on my side. If I had to choose one body part it would be probably the heart or the head, ’cause without those where would you be?

In science we learned about extreme weather. We learned about everything from ice to heat stroke. Did you know that the sun causes wrinkles? I didn’t, isn’t that so interesting!

We learned about the taking over of America. Most of the people died because of the other countries greed. They died of sickness that they brought as well as war. We read about wind in science. Air is always moving, it never stops. So I think that makes all air wind, or is there another difference between the two that I don’t know about. If there is and you know about it please comment. I finished math really early today.

I fractured my collarbone on Saturday, so I am just doing science, history, poems, and Journal. Yesterday I went to two doctors, and didn’t do any school. We learned about Saul becoming Paul. Wouldn’t it be horrible to be named after king Saul? Who would do that to their child? In the past people valued education way more than now. We learned about scientific experiments.
